Because hearing aids do not solve all of the communication problems related to hearing loss, the H.A. Leeper Speech & Hearing Clinic in partnership with the National Centre for Audiology, offers a range of group-based courses designed to educate adults with hearing loss and their significant others about how to improve communication in their daily lives.

- How hearing loss impacts communication and relationships and what can be done;
- How to get the most benefit when wearing hearing aids;
- How devices other than hearing aids can be of assistance in difficult listening environments;
- How the environment around you can impact communication.
Course Two
An Introduction to Speechreading
In this six-session program you will learn:
- What speechreading is;
- What the sounds of English look like on the mouth;
- What sounds are easiest and what sound are most difficult to see on the mouth;
